Abstract

Un aspect de la présente invention concerne un support de connecteur et un faisceau de câbles qui rendent une section de maintien de connecteur moins susceptible de sortir d'une section de mise en prise. Un support de connecteur (14) selon un aspect de la présente invention comprend une section de maintien de connecteur en forme de bande (34), une section de mise en prise (35) et une section de restriction (47). La section de maintien de connecteur (34) entoure la périphérie d'un premier connecteur (10) pour maintenir le premier connecteur (10) sur un corps principal de support (16). La section de mise en prise (35) vient en prise avec une pointe de la section de maintien de connecteur (34) fermée pour maintenir le premier connecteur (10). Lorsqu'une première direction (K1) est supposée être la direction dans laquelle la section de maintien de connecteur (34) est en prise avec la section de mise en prise (35), la section de restriction (47) limite le mouvement de la section de maintien de connecteur (34) dans une seconde direction (K2) croisant la première direction (K1).
